A Twist Through Time (A TVDU fic)

Chapter 34

"Well, that was a bust."

"I don't think so" Landon said as his eyes on who he recognized to be Stefan and Damon Salvatore. "But I don't think it worked exactly right either."

"Damon?" The word was out of Josie's mouth before she could to stop it. Damon was so familiar to her. She knew him and Elena and their children as though they were family, been though she didn't see them we often these days. But Damon looked younger.

"And who the hell are you?" The older Salvatore demanded as he stared at the three newcomers in shock

Lizzie turned to look behind her at the sound of Damon Salvatore's name, wondering why he would be there and how he wouldn't know who she and Josie were, but once she faced him and noticed his younger features, she realized what was happening. It was as Landon had said. It didn't work exactly right. Instead of bringing Hope to their time, they must have ended up in the time period Hope had ended up.

When no one answered his question, Damon repeated himself, growing frustrated and confused about the sudden arrival of three teenagers that he didn't recognize. "Who are you? And how do you know my name? You're not going to like if I have to ask again. I'm already having a bad enough day already."

"We can't tell you" Josie said after a moment, wanting to be honest but not knowing what would happen if she was, especially since she doubted he would believe her even if she tried.

"What do you mean, you can't tell us?" Stefan questioned, stepping closer to them, though if he was being honest, he had little interest in them. His priority was finding a way to kill Klaus without getting the rest of them killed in the process. Still, it was probably best to have at least some knowledge of the mysterious newcomers.

"We shouldn't be here. I'm sorry we interrupted whatever you were doing." Landon said, his gaze on the guy he recognized from a photo at the school. Stefan Salvatore. The man who died saving Mystic Falls.

"That's still not really an answer" Stefan said, but he found he didn't really care about whether they answered or not. As long as these three teenagers weren't going to attack them or do anything to jeopardize his plan, he could care less if they showed up. He needed to keep his priorities in check. It was all he really had left, despite Elena's efforts to insist otherwise.

"I know, but we can't really give one either" Josie said. They needed to go figure out what to do and see if they could track down Hope.Together, surely the four of them would be able to get back to the future again. She wanted to be able to help Hope, especially considering she was the whole reason the tribrid was even here in the first place. If Josie hadn't cast that spell on her, all four of them would be in their time right now.

"That's not really good enough" Damon said, walking closer to her so that he was right in front of him. "See, I've had it up to here with the problems that have been occurring in this town recently, and the last thing I need is three unnamed teenagers showing up in my house without an explanation. So tell me who you are, or things are about to get bloody" He doubted they were human, considering strangers rarely showed up in Mystic Falls unless they were supernatural beings.

"Okay that's enough of this pointless Q and A" Lizzie said, placing a hand on Landon's shoulder and siphoning from him before putting Stefan and Damon Salvatore under a sleeping spell. "Lets get going before we end up in a darker version of Back to the Future with our no longer deceased step father and our non-biological uncle"

Landon looked at Lizzie as she mentioned Back to the Future before nodding in agreement and heading out of the Salvatore Boarding House, the twins following after him. "Where should we go? I mean we are in the past, and we don't have anything that would let either of you be able to track Hope. It wasn't as though we were planning on ending up in the past."
